Synopsis:
Constance is a 2D hand-drawn action adventure featuring a paintbrush-wielding artist, striving to escape from a colorful but decaying inner-world, created by her declining mental health.
Key Features:
Become Paint: Utilize paint based mechanics to experience a constant state of flow - dive into the ground and walls, slice through the air and enemies!
Wield Your Brush: Become stronger by unlocking new techniques with your brush that aid you in defeating threatening foes, overcoming platform challenges, solving complex puzzles and advancing your progress.
Discover Yourself: Explore more than six unique biomes, countless secrets, multiple paths, characters, side quests and collectibles in Constance’s non-linear interconnected inner-world!
Strive For Balance: Using your brush techniques will corrupt your paint. If you become fully corrupted, negative effects await you, so be wary!

Choice In Death: Upon death, choose how to continue your journey. Do you want to persevere through the challenge, for a price? Or do you return to a safe-point and explore other unbeaten paths?
